I'm assuming that now all the dwarves have been revealed, we'll get to see them in action, maybe filming the scene in Rivendell described in the Empire article. I'm also hoping we'll get a sneak peek at more designs too! Guess we'll have to wait and see!

I thought it was going to be something much worse. I agree with Pete that its just too early for official Hobbit panels and such. You don't want to over-saturate the market too early and tire people of it already. Next year should be full of Hobbity goodness. Now the great news, about the new video! That's great stuff, can't wait to see it, and it looks like he's finally getting around to doing the questions that we're asked. Pete is too nice a guy. I would be off my rocker if I had to deal with all the stuff he is dealing with, pleasing fans before the movie comes out probably wouldn't even cross my mind.

First observation: OMG, Peter's in shorts again, and wow, he's really looking and acting a lot like LotR Peter! 2nd: The dwarves look amazing in person! And they aren't even captured in the perfect light of Lesnie's camera yet! They all get along so amazingly. I think I'm going to love Bombur and Dwalin! Dwarf song (Metallica version rules! haha!) 3rd: Cate looks amazing, as always! 4th: JRD is an epic, epic man. 5th: SARUMAN! "I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge" --J.R.R. Tolkien

Words can't desribe the feelings when seeing this new video... All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

While watching PJ's latest vlog, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the dwarves sing a bit of Bilbo's "Cow Jumped Over the Moon" song--the one that Frodo sang at the Prancing Pony before he accidentally slipped the ring on his finger, in FOTR. I love the fact that the dwarves also played musical instruments in one clip on PJs vlog. Technically, there is no way that the dwarves could have known Bilbo's song, but I don't feel like splitting hairs. The movie looks like fun, so far. "Become who you were born to be!" (Elrond Halfelven to Aragorn--my favorite non-Tolkien line from the LOTR films)

Well, technically, Bilbo could have learned it from the dwarves...but it doesn't strike me as a dwarf-song...more of a hobbity kind of irish jig. I imagined dwarf music to be more brash like a German drinking song or something. Not particularly pleasant but a thing to behold...hmmm. Everything else I'm excited about...
